: **Note**: The following is an excerpt from the official IETF RFC. It is provided here as a convenience and is not authoritative. Refer to the original document as the authoritative reference. ==== Introduction ==== : //This [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:u:udp|User Datagram Protocol (UDP)]] is defined to make available a datagram mode of packet-switched computer communication in the environment of an interconnected set of computer networks. This protocol assumes that the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:ip|Internet Protocol (IP)]] ((Postel, J., "Internet Protocol," RFC 760, USC/Information Sciences Institute, January 1980. )) is used as the underlying protocol.// : //This protocol provides a procedure for [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:application|application]] programs to send messages to other programs with a minimum of protocol mechanism. The protocol is transaction oriented, and delivery and duplicate protection are not guaranteed. Applications requiring ordered reliable delivery of streams of data should use the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:t:tcp]]. ((Postel, J.,"Transmission Control Protocol," RFC 761, USC/Information Sciences Institute, January 1980. ))// /**=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- /* To add a discussion page to this page, comment out the line that says ~~DISCUSSION:off~~ */ ~~DISCUSSION:on|Outstanding Issues~~ ~~DISCUSSION:off~~
